So funny when preclinical biotechs sign these big biobucks deals. Oh you're going to get a 20% royalty on annual net sales exceeding $1 billion? Buddy the fog is gonna consume us in 2027. The fog is coming. The fog is coming. The fog is coming

Everyone wants to cure all diseases but nobody wants to do no hard ass biology experiments
Can anyone who played CELLQuest on the original Becton Dickinson tell me if it was fun? Is it worth trying to vibe code an emulator for some retro gaming?
I look forward to the day when every lab instrument runs linux and the entire UI is just an MCP for my agents
If weeds can overgrow a fake lawn then it stands to reason that you could develop a strain of grass that would functionally replace the fake lawn except be real

Had a lot of fun making bioshrek and collaborative pixel art www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gWSEdP/
I made this picture of shrek out of living fluorescent bacteria. What will you make at cheap.americanwetware.com? #shrek #bioshrek #science #robot #lab

I am literally begging you to start a biotech company, literally any biotech company, and incorporate slop maximalism into your branding I am in love with biotech slop maximalism. I will do free work for you. I will shill whatever bioproduct or AI model thing you sell.
1) Apparently snails can eat graffiti 2) Apparently snails actively seek out graffiti to eat 3) ??? 4) Start a biotech company that sells snails for graffiti removal
Very proud of this work and all the efforts from my team and collaborators on this! You can now use DGRs for in vivo targeted hypermutagenesis in E. coli. We also included some early proof of concept in Yeast thanks to @seth-shipman.bsky.social !
Raphael Laurenceau@raphael-microb.bsky.social · 4mo ago🔈Paper out! We turned the most fascinating phage host-switch mechanism, diversity-generating retroelements, into a programmable mutagenesis tool, DGRec. You can perform targeted hypermutation of any 50-200bp sequence directly in vivo in E. coli www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Cloud computing is a good product: versatile, scalable, on-demand. Biotech service providers have tried to reproduce this formula. But what if we’ve been focusing on the wrong features?
I will personally award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to the first person who engineers a peptide that can do the worm
We know that AI increases the value of human biological data. But by how much? Super interesting to see a specific class of human biological data assigned a spot price in a real market event
